Chapter 74
“Sister, elephant, the elephant is drinking water!” exclaimed the Little Princess excitedly.
Changle, linking arms with Su Li, cheerfully introduced him, “Meet Deputy Commander-in-Chief. These majestic elephants are a tribute from South Vietnam. Despite their massive size, they possess gentle personalities. There are dedicated trainers in the Forest Garden who handle their training. They accompany His Majesty during his tours and are part of festival processions. The forest garden even holds elephant fights and performances, which are quite entertaining. This particular elephant is an extraordinary rarity, a once-in-a-century giant!”
Su Li glanced at the elephant, acknowledging its impressive stature. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, elephants held great significance as auspicious symbols. The role of elephants was comparable with other auspicious symbols such as dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds. They were considered pets exclusive to the royal family.
However, Su Li’s reaction was different. Modern zoos were incomplete without a few elephants. Su Li chuckled. After all, no matter how dignified Changle might usually be, she was still a young girl who had recently come of age.
“Go ahead and look,” Su Li encouraged, not showing much interest. Forest Garden’s design cleverly gave it the feeling of a wildlife park. In the distance, Su Li spotted a vividly colored tiger, partially hidden on the mountainside.
Changle and the Little Princess had already run over to the elephant that was drinking water. Despite being three years old, the Little Princess was hardly half as thick as the elephant’s leg. Yet, she showed no fear and excitedly circled the elephant.
Changle, although familiar with elephants, was seeing such a tall one for the first time.
Lin Yuan’s elephants were well-trained and unafraid of humans, being friendly even towards the young princess, allowing her to stay close.
The Little Princess was thrilled, maintaining some distance due to the elephant’s imposing size. Suddenly, a distant neighing sound was heard.
Su Li’s expression changed slightly. “Not good,” he muttered before rushing towards the elephant.
At the same time, the elephant where the Little Princess became agitated as if facing a natural enemy. Another thunderous neigh echoed.
The elephant lifted its head and let out a mournful roar. It twisted its body, shoving the guard away and throwing off the animal trainer riding it. Then, in a frenzy, the elephant raised its front legs high.
“Little Princess!” The unexpected scene left everyone shocked.
The Little Princess gazed up at the sky, where the elephant’s immense shadow seemed to cover everything. The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
In that instant, in the eyes of Little Princess, the passage of time appeared to slow down suddenly. She witnessed her sister’s terrified face yelling at her and observed several guards fearlessly rushing towards her.
However, she only experienced an icy sensation all over her body, rendering her immobile. The notion of impending death surged from within her. For some inexplicable reason, the beautiful eyes of Little Princess widened significantly, filled with sheer terror.
In the following moment, a figure abruptly entered her field of vision. He spread his arms wide and reached towards the massive elephant legs that had already fallen.
“Brother-in-law…”
As soon as the elephant exhibited unusual behavior, Su Li immediately sensed the danger. While domesticated elephants usually displayed gentle traits, they could turn ferocious when provoked.
Ordinary people had no means of resistance against a raging elephant. However, Su Li’s present physical attributes amounted to a remarkable 179 points, far exceeding human limitations, enabling him to exert an extraordinary force like lifting a mountain.
Su Li possessed an astonishing and otherworldly power of tens of thousands of kilograms. This strength transcended human comprehension, similar to a mythical force.
The elephant’s legs emitted a mournful cry as Su Li’s hands held an immense force, causing him to press them down forcefully.
Contrasted with the colossal creature, Su Li’s raised hands resembled those of a mantis attempting to stop a car. Everyone’s mouths gaped in shock. Yet, the expected screams of terror did not materialize.
“Stand up!”
Su Li’s voice resonated as he bellowed a command. Subsequently, he released one of his hands and grabbed hold of the elephant’s legs, leveraging his arms to exert incredible strength.
Taking advantage of the momentary hesitation during the elephant’s descent, Su Li let go with one hand, embracing a leg with both arms and twisting his waist with a burst of effort.
The colossal elephant, weighing over 10,000 kilograms, was flipped over by Su Li directly. Losing its balance, it tumbled awkwardly, crashing into the pond.
With a resounding splash, an enormous spray of water drenched several nearby guards, leaving them soaked to the bone.
At this juncture, not a single person cared about their soaked clothes. Instead, they all wore expressions of utter shock as they gazed at Su Li.
Siddhartha Throwing Elephant…
It was merely a legendary tale from the past. Both Buddhism and Taoism were widely practiced in the Tang Dynasty, and the story of Siddhartha throwing an elephant was also widely known.
However, this was once just a tale found in Buddhist scriptures. Today, this scene was unfolding right before them!
“Wow!”
It wasn’t until this moment that the Little Princess opened her mouth and began crying as she rushed towards Su Li.
At this point, her brother-in-law, who had just stood before her, provided her with the greatest sense of security.
“It’s okay, it’s okay!” Su Li patted the Little Princess’s head.
Hilary!
The explosive neigh resounded once more. This time, the sound was even closer. Following the sound, Su Li looked over and widened his eyes.
On the grassy field in the distance, a pure white steed, gleaming in the sunlight, was galloping towards them. Initially, it was several hundred paces away.
In almost the span of a few breaths, it had raced up close.
Su Li blinked.
A white dragon?
At that moment, Su Li exclaimed, “Goodness!”
The way the system described the appearance of living creatures was unexpectedly exciting!
However, it must be said that products from the system were bound to be of high quality.
Su Li wasn’t skilled at horsemanship and couldn’t determine whether the white dragon before him could carry ten thousand catties or travel thousands of miles.
However, just from its height that exceeded him by two heads and its pure white hair without a single stray strand, anyone would marvel at it being a magnificent steed.
Its running posture was exceptionally agile, and every muscle seemed to grow in the golden ratio.
A single horse, running with the aura of a king of beasts!
No wonder, even from this distance, its neighing alone could make the elephants tremble and become agitated.
